What is the best keychain multi-tool for hiking.

The Style series, and as part of an Urban Altoids EDC Kit.

Keychain Leatherman- features and specifications.I have looked at all of these in greater detail: All can be found on the second-hand market but some are getting difficult to track down and a couple, such as the specialised Squirt E4, command quite ridiculous prices for what they are. The Leatherman Squirt S4 is quite an old tool and hasn’t been produced for quite some time, nor have many of the other nine keychain multi-tools that Leatherman produced since the Micra was released in 1996.

This blog is part of a short series looking at my favourite pieces of backpacking gear. Small points perhaps, but if there is the choice, why not go for the configuration that works best, for you?

The Micra also seems just a little clunky in comparison. I find the layout of the smaller S4 superior, mostly due to the more useful removable tweezers and that all tools are located on the outside of the frame and are more easily accessible. It is now a long discontinued tool but the toolset is so similar to the 50g Micra that I might find myself including that larger tool should I ever lose my favourite. I have been extremely thankful to pull this little tool from my pack on just a few occasions where it has made life just that little bit easier. The Squirt S4 weighs 52.3g and that has been acceptable for me on many a long hike. There is obviously a weight penalty with carrying a multi-tool on trail instead of a very light Victorinox or similar. Dimensions (across scale screws) 60mm (57mm with key hanger folded) X 20.55mm X 13.60mm.
